As I share more analysis and newsflow here, I figured it's time to introduce myself properly.

I spent many years in the investment industry - mostly in fixed income, across London and Geneva. Along the way I discovered I had a genuine knack for equities, and managed to grow my savings and bonuses enough to retire early and live off my portfolio.

Doing daily research for my own holdings, I kept running into the same problem: most financial news is either AI-generated noise with no substance, or accurate analysis is locked behind Bloomberg and Barron's paywalls.

So I decided to build an alternative.

https://t.co/EqQ62mnNZh covers the US equity market (mostly companies listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq). The site publishes 10-15 articles daily on earnings, analyst actions, and market-moving events. Articles are AI-drafted and human-reviewed, with a focus on keeping the numbers front and centre rather than the usual vague commentary.

It's free. No agenda. Just the analysis I'd want to read myself.

Disclaimer: Nothing I post constitutes investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any security. My personal investments are entirely separate from the website. If I hold a position in a stock I tweet about, I will disclose it in that post. I am not a licensed financial advisor.

$IBM: IBM has formalized an OEM partnership with Cirata PLC, embedding Cirata's Symphony technology into the next generation of IBM Big Replicate to address petabyte-scale AI data orchestration challenges for enterprise clients.
Removing the technical jargon, IBM is taking Cirata’s software and gluing it permanently inside its own product lineup:
-- Cirata’s technology allows data to be copied and moved in real-time, while it is actively being used, with zero downtime. If a bank changes a record on an old server in London, it instantly updates in the AI model running in IBM’s cloud.
-- By embedding this capability directly into their sales pitch, IBM removes the biggest operational excuse corporate clients have for delaying AI adoption ("We'd love to use watsonx, but our data is stuck on our old systems"). IBM can now handle the data cleanup and the AI model all under one roof.

$AMD: Advanced Micro Devices has struck a deal with $RXT Rackspace Technology to supply chips for its datacenter infrastructure. The reasoning behind the deal is the following:
-- It solves the Nvidia software moat problem - In this deal, $RXT acts as the middleman by handling software setups and maintenance.
-- It unlocks the highly regulated private cloud market - Rackspace specializes in private, highly secure, and highly regulated data environments. $AMD gets exposure to high-margin enterprise clients.
-- Long-term revenue predictability - The agreement locks in a multi-year roadmap spanning from late 2026 through 2028 across an initial 30 megawatts of data center capacity.

$NVDA: Nvidia raised yesterday $25bn in the investment grade market with $85bn of orders in total. The company is tapping the bond market for the first time since 2021.
The issuance spans seven tranches with maturities ranging from 2-year notes to 30-year bonds due in 2056.
While use of proceeds were indicated for general corporate purposes, it is more likely that Nvidia is looking to establish a large, liquid credit benchmark across the full yield curve.
